Application of Near Infrared Spectroscopy, Intravascular Ultrasound and the Coronary Calcium Score to Predict Adverse Coronary Events
Abstract
The aim of the present project is to 1. Utilize near infrared intra-coronary spectroscopy as an adjunctivetechnique during cardiac catheterization to identify potential vulnerable plaque morphology 2. Relate its presence to intermediate and long-term outcomes inpatients defined as angina, myocardial infarction, death, congestive heart failure, stroke and need for revascularizationover five years. 3. To compare near infrared intra-coronary spectroscopy data to that from coronary calcium scoring, angiographic findings and intracoronary ultrasound in predicting those outcomes in #2.
